What are the two types of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)?

• A. Rigid and Flexible
• B. Metal and Plastic
• C. Large and Small
• D. Heavy and Light

Answer: (A)

IBC containers come in two form factors: rigid and flexible. Rigid IBCs have a solid outer shell and are typically made from plastic or metal, providing durability, easy cleaning, and reusable handling. Flexible IBCs are bag-type containers (often woven polypropylene) that are supported by a frame or pallet, offering lightweight bulk containment ideal for dry powders or granules and efficient storage when empty. The other options describe materials or size, not the actual form factor of the container.
